Hi

Been out of whack for 2 days with the dreaded Norovirus.

It's a pig of a virus, but helps prove the statistic that humans are 90% water.

I am now down to about 35%.


So, who else has had it? Is it particularly prevalent in East Dulwich / Peckham at the moment?

Apparently there is a lot of it going around but everyone always says that!

No idea where I got it from - but it is easy to catch even by just touching an infected surface.

Fortunately MrPR has guts of steel and he's been able to look after me.


Aghhhh - quick off to the toi...

Oh dear, poor you *hugs*


My immune system seems to be permanently upregulated as I've never caught this bug, nor do I get colds or flu, despite the fact Mr Minkey gets everything going..


Drink plenty of fluids with rehydration salts if possible, and I hope it passes soon.

Yes, it's all the rage in the Family Room. my little boy had it, then my husband, then both grannies after two separate stays, and lastly me. Luckily was over it (and half a stone lighter for two blissful days) in time to be bridesmaid for my best mate but god it was horrendous, I was pretty much throwing up every hour for 12 hours. Judging by our experience it's highly infectious.
It visited our household about 6 weeks ago, then we kindly passed it on to my family in NZ when we went there on holiday. Oops :-$ The kids and I got it about 5 days before we left (it's a brilliant quick fix diet), Mr Pickle came down with it on a long haul flight. Not nice.

Is that you saying I'm fat? Like I NEED to lose weight?

Clearly we've not met.

it's the staying in/off work for 2 days after symptoms have stopped that's the problem - don't think many people do (have lots of kids coming in who've vomited at night and then said they wanted to go to school the next morning so parents have sent them - only to be having even more D&V by lunchtime!).


Those 2 days are important to check it's properly out of your system and to ensure you're no longer infectious.

I am finally over it. Had it last Wednesday night and although stopped doing the exploding thing by Saturday, it has taken this long to get better although MrPR then got it and reinfected me a bit Saturday.


PLEASE please please if you get it DO NOT GO OUT FOR TWODAY DAYS AFTER YOUR LAST 'EXPLOSION' - IE TWO DAYS AFTER YOU START TO FEEL BETTER.


Because THAT's when you're still infectious. Thank you. Just as well I am not religious because I missed Easter this year!

    • hah ha! On the subject of dodgy keys and also police protocol with stolen cars, my first car was a 1969 mini which you could open and start by wiggling a small flat-headed screwdriver. About a week after it was stolen the police called to say they'd spotted it on the Dog Kennel Hill estate opposite East Dulwich station. In those days parking was free so at least I didn't receive any tickets, but I surprised the police just left a message with the address and expected me to go and pick it up. I was slightly worried I'd have to tackle the culprits myself when I arrived.
    • Hi all, I am a practitioner of Five Element Acupuncture and will soon be treating out of the brilliant MICA Yoga Studio in Nunhead on a Friday morning.  I trained in the tradition of Five Element Acupuncture with Gerad Kite, Master Acupuncturist, fertility expert, and one of the leading practitioners and teachers of this style in the UK. This approach is less about chasing individual symptoms and more about getting to know you as a whole person. Treatments are tailored to you, working with the body’s natural ability to heal, regulate itself, and find its way back to balance. I see people with a wide range of concerns, including fertility and hormonal health, anxiety, stress, digestive issues like IBS, fatigue, sleep problems, and chronic pain. Rather than focusing on just one symptom, we take a more holistic view, looking at the underlying patterns in the body and supporting overall balance and wellbeing. If the price on my website feels out of reach, please don’t let that stop you from getting in touch. We can always have a conversation about what might be possible. I never want anyone to feel they can’t access treatment because of financial insecurity. My contact details can be found on my booking system if you’d like to ask a question or arrange a session With warm wishes, Freya      
    • Great pub, great deals and great service! Food is second to none Highly recommend 👌
    • This thread is brilliant! I am glad it has a happy ending. The reference to the Punto keys reminds of the days of when you could "jiggle a lock" with a similar car key and I speak from painful memory as a kid I managed to lock the keys in our car whilst on a camping holiday in Spain. My mum and dad didn't speak much Spanish and much hilarity ensued (post event) as they tried to communicate to the driver of a similar make and model of car as to why they had flagged him down and were trying to get him to lend him the key from his ignition!
